If you are applying to other law schools as well as Denver Law then use the LSACLLM application. LSAC should only be used if applying to other LLM programs that REQUIRE an LSAC app. Otherwise, DU Graduate Admissions Application is the preferred method of application.

A candidate for the LLM must have earned a Juris Doctor or equivalent degree from a law school that is a member of the Association of American Law Schools or is approved by the American Bar Association, or in the case of a foreign candidate, must have completed a law degree with high academic standards from a recognized foreign university. LSAT is not required for admission to an LLM program.

Do I need to take the LSAT for LLM or Master’s programs?

No, LSAT is not required for admission into either an LLM program or a Master’s program.

What are the eligibility requirements for a Master’s program?

A candidate for the Master’s must have earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited higher education institution, or in the case of a foreign candidate, obtained the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree from an acknowledged institution of higher learning. GRE/GMAT is not required except for the Master of Taxation program.

Do I need to take the GMAT or GRE for Master’s programs?

GMAT is required only for the Master of Taxation; however, for any application submitted on or after April 1st, 2015, we will consider you waived from the GMAT if you have one or more of the following attributes:

You received a Bachelors degree in Accounting or a Business Administration degree with a major in Accounting with a cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 3.0.

You received a Bachelors degree in Accounting or a Business Administration degree with a major in Accounting and you have earned a graduate level degree from an accredited school.

GMAT or GRE are not required for any other Master’s programs.

Do I need to take the TOEFL/IELTS?

If English is your second language and if you have not obtained your bachelor’s or primary law degree in English, then you have to take the TOEFL/IELTS.

Yes, domestic students can do all the programs part-time. For financial aid purposes (FAFSA) part-time is anything less than 8 credits per semester/quarter. International students can do the programs part-time only in exceptional circumstances.
